Which one was the most fun to fly?
My experience is so limited that I probably shouldn't even respond to this question but I have actually been thinking about this a lot lately. I'm probably biased because of my 300hrs in a Luscombe and only 35 hours in a Bearhawk but based purely on the feel of each airplane the Luscombe was the most fun to fly. The comparison I've drawn in my head is the Luscombe is like driving a Triumph TR6, not fast or powerful but just plain fun. The Bearhawk is like a 3/4 ton diesel pickup, not a lot of fun factor in the feel of the controls but will pack anything you stuff inside and will make it look easy.
I'm envious of you guys with a ton of planes in you logbooks. After 10 years and a measly 350hrs I have a whopping total of 4 planes in my logbook. Hopefully over the next 40 years that will change.
Whee,
Frankly, who cares how many types one has in the logbook? The point is to get out there and fly what you've got access to. I'm pretty much down to flying one type now. I'd like to fly more types, but flying even one airplane is truly a blessing that we in this country enjoy. Compared to the rest of the world, even us folks with limited income can still get out and enjoy the likes of a Luscombe or T-Craft, or ????
Enjoy all your flying, it is truly a gift to be able to fly for recreation.....no matter the type.
This thread is all internet masturbation anyway.....

I agree but I would like to fly more types just for the experience.

What's an SL-8?
Maybe on of the new Renaissance LSA-8? If so it would be cool to hear a flight report on it even though they are never going to actually produce anything.
